Matt Tomaszewski, SU’s 6-foot-8 walk-on forward from Seabrook, N.H, swished a 3-pointer from the left wing Monday night. The 3 boosted the Orange men’s lead to 93-53, but more significantly, it kept Tomaszewski’s perimeter streak alive.

He’s now 3-for-3 from 3-point range. Tomaszewski, who started his collegiate career at the University of Tampa, was asked to reveal his perimeter secret.

"Secret? It’s having great teammates that pass me the ball," Tomaszewski said. "I must have gotten lucky on those ones."

Fellow walk-on Nick Resavy, who overheard the conversation between Tomaszewski and a Post-Standard reporter, interjected: "No," he said. "This guy’s a shooter."

Scoop Jardine agreed: "He’s one of the best shooters on our team. You gotta see him in practice. I hate playing against him."

Mookie shoots, he scores!
Sophomore guard Mookie Jones, who is serenaded with "MOOOOO" from the Carrier Dome crowd each time he rises from the Orange bench, played 15 minutes against Morgan State. During that time, he went 2-for-4 from 3-point range. He grabbed four rebounds, had two assists and no turnovers.

For the season, the 6-foot-6 Jones is shooting 10-for-22 (45.5 percent) from beyond the arc. He has not started a game this season. Instead, he finds a way to ready himself to shoot each time he enters the game.

"I psych myself out all the time," he said. "The only time I think about the game is when the game starts and I’m on the bench. And then I imagine myself out there. Even if I don’t play the whole night, in my mind, I scored about 20-something points. So when I go on the floor, it’s just natural. Today I was more patient. I didn’t take that many shots. I played a lot of minutes. It was good."
